Washington was fully aware of Churchill's dispatch of people to Great Britain and acquiesced in it, but did not intervene except to provide extremely limited technical support. According to Dewey's original intention, this matter was accomplished, and the spirits of the Allies could be boosted, and it could also obviously undermine Germany's strategic layout on the European continent and delay the Anglo-German reconciliation; If it is messed up, it will not lose anything, and it is Churchill's men and horses, and Germany will not be able to find the United States even if it wants to investigate, and the sky will fall and Churchill, the fat man, will first carry it.

Dewey was so angry that he really wanted to drag Churchill over and beat him hard, and at the same time wanted to tell the Germans that you were blind? It's obviously a fat man who is messing around, you should go to him! Find him!

Not to mention that the Axis Group of 48 does not believe the arguments of the United States that it has nothing to do with this, even the neutral Swiss ambassador does not believe his defense, and at least has a skeptical attitude, while the Swedish ambassador believes that the United States is simply shirking its responsibilities and thinks that Germany is right, and the Americans have been engaging in conspiracies on the European continent, and he is extremely annoyed by this.

As for the US congressmen, they were also divided into two factions: one group applauded Dewey's "decision" loudly, believing that it was a clever way to save morale and counter aggression; One faction thinks it's a bit out of chivalry and political morality, and has reservations about it, but they don't think they've done anything wrong.

Privately, Dewey vaguely expressed unease about the incident, but in public, especially when reporters intervened, his attitude was as tough as ever: "The enemy attacked Pearl Harbor, attacked New York, and was it not a civilian target?" Isn't it a gathering place for civilians? Why can the enemy attack our civilian targets and civilians, and we can't? As for the threat of the Germans, to hell with them, they were doing it long before they said so, we will never be afraid, we will never give in, we will long for peace but never bow to threats and tyranny! ”

These beautiful words won him a lot of applause, and also caused him to rise after his election, because of the precarious situation in Hawaii, the rapid decline in the polls, everyone believes that although the army is not able to fight in South America, although it is also difficult in Hawaii, at least the efforts to assassinate by all means have won the support of many ordinary civilians.

After the New Year, Ribbentrop received an official reply from the American side through Switzerland: declaring that it had nothing to do with the matter! He bluntly addressed the neutrals: "Since Washington says they didn't do it, who did it?" If it was Churchill's hand, the U.S. government should stand up and make a statement. ”

"What statement?" The Swiss Foreign Minister, who has been working as a bridge between the United States and Germany, said in embarrassment, "Could you please be more specific?" ”

"Solemnly declare that the United States Government has nothing to do with this terrorist incident, state that the United States Government will never support and will not use such terrorist attacks, and express regret and moral condemnation of the Government of Canada for such acts!"

The Swiss felt that the German side had a good point,

Thinking that this request was not excessive, he conveyed his opinion to Washington, and Dewey smiled bitterly after hearing this: Can such a thing be said? Denial through secret diplomatic channels is the biggest compromise of the United States, after all, the government has not yet dissociated itself from the assassination in public.

If the United States openly denies and condemns this, then it is blatantly flouting the wisdom of European politicians to admit that the whole thing was the work of the Churchill government, and to expect to blame it on Free France or other terrorist organizations. Even the American mafia and the Zionist Action Organization, who have always engaged in terrorist activities, did not dare to come forward to bear this pot, because this is not an ordinary attack, this is an attack on the German head of state in London, England, which provoked Britain and Germany at once, and it is simply self-defeating.

If the Jewish organizations dared to come forward and say that they did it themselves, the consequences would be terrible in the future, and it would be difficult to imagine that there would be millions of Jews in Africa in the future, and it would be difficult for the Germans to close the concentration camps and gradually release Jewish laborers, and they would dare to admit that Germany would really commit genocide. These organizations are very self-aware, and even if they dare to jump out and admit it in the face of the world's condemnation, it is impossible to really take the responsibility: joke, how can a terrorist attack be carried out without the support of the government under the strict defense of the British and German troops?

The assassination was now applauded by the American people, and the mainstream public opinion believed that it was completely appropriate and justified, which put Dewey in a dilemma: denying the connection directly offended the voters and the allied governments, recognizing the connection meant offending the German government severely, and in the end, the lesser of the two evils, would rather offend the Germans than offend his own people.

As for condemning the Churchill government, it is even more impossible to take action, which will turn into an open break between the United States and the Canadian allies, and this kind of pediatric political low-level mistake Dewey will not make, so he can only play duplicity, on the one hand privately denying that the United States supports terrorist acts, and on the other hand, he sends a telegram to Ottawa to "express understanding and support for this", and even praises the British intelligence agencies for doing a good job through the British and American Joint Chiefs of Staff meeting in Washington!

Well done for this sentence: the longbowmen lost more than 50 radicals and an equal number of outsiders, and more than 200 people who were not directly involved but were also members of the group were arrested, and the manhunt presided over by Big C is still ongoing.

This kind of ambiguous attitude is not a big deal to the US media and public opinion, and even the people of the Joint Chiefs of Staff have not realized the seriousness of Germany's above-mentioned statement, who would not say cruel words? Britain and the United States have also declared that they want the Axis to surrender unconditionally, isn't this now talking about peace terms?

In the words of the generals of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, "Well done indeed!" I just hate that it didn't work out! ”

However, the Axis bloc and the neutral countries, seeing that the United States has not made a clear statement for a long time, believe that the US government is acquiescing in its own affairs, and it is useless to say more!

In the end, only Winston Churchill, who was far away in Canada, smiled at the success of the conspiracy: the assassination showed the energy of the Ottawa government and served as a wake-up call to the people of Great Britain; At the same time, it dealt a blow to Germany's arrogance and saved some face for the war; More importantly, he was convinced, through the after-the-fact reaction of the American side and Dewey's telegram, that the Washington authorities would not abandon themselves and the British government (plus), and that was enough. As for the success of the assassination, he had no hope from the beginning, and the important thing was the process, not the result!

Receiving Ribbentrop's reply, Hoffman smiled coldly, and Dewey's reaction at both ends of the rat was expected by him: he didn't want to give up the prestige enhancement and internal cohesion effect brought about by this incident, and he didn't want to bear some adverse consequences, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world?

He confessed to Ribbentrop: "Don't pay attention to the innocent moans of the Americans", further raised the offer, forced the peace talks to break down! ”

The latter clearly understands this.

In explaining these contents, the British and German sides have reached a package agreement:

First, in late January, a referendum on the status of Northern Ireland will be held in the same way as the Danish referendum, and European countries will send observers.

Second, the two sides clarified the unified arrangement of the situation in South Africa, which will be divided into the British South African territory (about 1 million square kilometers), the Republic of Boer (more than 250,000 square kilometers, but cannot be merged with the Netherlands), two African protectorates (30,000 square kilometers of the Kingdom of Lesotho and 20,000 square kilometers of Eswatini), Northern Rhodesia will recognize the status quo of occupation by European countries, and Southern Rhodesia (mainly in Botswana) will remain a direct British colony through these measures, London consolidated nearly 1.5 million square kilometers of land;

thirdly, to carry out legal procedures to officially change the name of the country to "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Newfoundland";

Fourth, prepare military forces to be stationed in the American territories (mainly British Guiana, Trinidad and Tobago, etc.), and restore the territory with the help of Germany;

fifth, the production of military products in accordance with the unified technical specifications and standard drawings of Germany;

Sixth, participation in the EU and the United Nations as a founding member;

Seventh, to persuade Australia and New Zealand to surrender as suzerain, Germany promised to protect their independence and not let them be occupied by Japan, but the necessary compensation and benefits were to be given to some of the Japanese authorities in London to understand and accept this.

Through this series of measures, the major differences between Britain and Germany were basically resolved, and after visiting the German garrisons in Scotland and the Isle of Man, Hoffmann left for Ireland to discuss the future operation of the European Union with Ireland.
